...E.  Sample Write up for students
.......Teachers:  This is a very good lab series
...that takes 3+ days only and focuses on students
...making connections between what happens on paper
...and in the testtube. Students practice writing succinctly
...and balancing equations.

Get softer
and more
reactive     
as you go
down the
table
A mixture of
water, sodium
and oil...can
you explain?
HCl and Calcium Carbonate
(marble) Can you explain why
the flame goes out???
